Summary

Police in Pennsylvania are investigating the theft of 100,000 eggs, worth $40,000, stolen from a Pete & Gerry’s Organics distribution trailer.

The unusual crime, potentially linked to soaring egg prices due to bird flu, has left authorities with no leads. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and seeking community tips.

Egg prices have surged, with the USDA predicting a further 20% increase this year.

With Easter approaching, concerns over affordability grow.

      Look, not a single person typing the word slammed. Just journalists living in the moment.
